Remember, more people die of bee stings then shark attacks.

Never, been bit or ever seen a shark close to the shore (except for a dogfish) and I swim in the ocean a lot, but I caught a 310lb mako once 30 miles south of montauk, and it bit into the boat breaking off several teeth in the glass. If it ever did get a hold of you things would get ugly fast. They are nasty critters.

I think southern (warm-water) public beaches could net-off the areas keeping everyone happy.

Don't have to worry too much up here, but there is always a possiblity one crusing the surfline.
